John KhuuJune 24, 2015Take a selfie with your bike at their red bike rack in front, upload it to social media, tell your server, and get a FREE appetizer!
Samantha RangelFebruary 26, 2015Came here for a quick drink before hitting the riv. It was Mardi Gras and pretty crowded but the staff was cordial and attentive. Good specials and lively crowd.Upvoted 1 week ago
Gosia ZattaJanuary 20, 2015Great drink selection (beers and ciders, as well as bourbons/whisky). They add their own spins on a few classic cocktails. DELICIOUS :) 🍻🍸🍹🍷
Colin LordSeptember 20, 2018Great place to watch football on the weekends. Many large TVs around the bar and restaurant.
Melissa SandsApril 19, 2014A cool retro feel with the best burgers! The best place to stop after some rigorous vintage shopping!
Allison KaminskiAugust 24, 2015Awesome beer menu. Great for a late night drink after a concert at the Aragon
Bill PeelerNovember 25, 2016Upscale bar food doesn't disappoint - and their holiday beer list challenge is AWESOME!
Fried chicken sandwich is extra tasty !! Lots of good beers on tap
Nathan AdkissonJune 18, 2011Ask for the Bentley Gallagher. It's a shot of Jameson and a shot of Malort poured directly on the bar. You mop it up with a Northwestern degree and eat it.
Egg sandwich for brunch is delightful. Bread, cheddar, bacon & egg. That's it. And that's all you need.
joey mccustyJune 30, 2013They have signs near the bathrooms declaring how progressive their gender neutral bathrooms are. So I went ahead and used the womens because of YOLO.- Crystal N.March 31, 2012Mad Men viewing party every Sunday. Get there early so you can get a seat. 60s attire optional!
Tamika RilesJuly 13, 2012BlackCherry lemonade slush & pineapple Drop martini's are the best. And Nicole The bartender is the Best!
kate readerOctober 17, 2014Okay, I'm an avid meat eater, but seriously...the house-made black bean burger is killer!!
Been coming here a few years....for the 25cent wings in particular. Love it here!
Brian J. MarkhamDecember 23, 2011Highly, highly recommend the Velvetta burger. Really tasty and juicy. Its excellent.
Bobby HoeppnerJune 9, 2012The Fat Cat adventures continue.....came here on a Friday night for the fish fry, ummmm....they ran out. P.S. - it is not busy in here.
FaithAugust 4, 2012I have been a few times and every time I have left with a headache. Their music is way too loud so good luck enjoying your conversation!- Try the corn dog appetizer and mac and cheese bites. Great outdoor seating. If there's a concert at the Riviera or Aragon, get here early or late.
Bojangles McGannonNovember 15, 2013Better know what you want plus a second choice, because if they don't have what you ask for, they'll walk away and serve someone else
- Excellent atmosphere, excellent beer selection and great location. Can't beat this place!
Julie MaySeptember 27, 2011Mini corndogs are so delicious and the velveeta burger. Also the server Robin was great.
The spicey bbq wings are yummy, but a little to saucy. If ur not down with the sauce ask them to go light. :)
ChristineOctober 12, 2010The pork belly sammy was a total disappointment. the fries, on the other hand, were the bomb. also, great beer selection
Jessica StriebichFebruary 26, 2011Try one of the specialty cocktails. Top picks are the hi hat and the apple press.
Dana AllenDecember 31, 2011Service it hit or miss, but if you're in the mood for something ya don't find everywhere try the bean burger!
Tonya TibbsApril 1, 2010Ladies: make sure to try the Riviera Martini! Sooo good. The spinach dip & black bean taco dip are also delicious!
Tina CMay 15, 2011Even though it doesn't mention it, you can't use the special on concert nights. Even if you aren't here for a concert. :(

"The fried chicken salad is so good. If you really want to blow your diet, try the lobster nachos - but share with a friend. It's an enormous portion."

"A favorite place to catch a concert. Great music venue! Love the history!"
Stephanie Cianchetti - 8.9
"Like it! Definitely a local-jazz experience, not for everyone. Service is friendly in general terms, but not expect guided tours (like many tourists in the reviews). Great main and support performers."
